Derby Week Dining

by Mark Head » Sat Apr 30, 2011 6:40 pm

Am I the only curmudgeon who avoids dining out Derby week? Most of the upscale places raise prices or have "special" Derby menus. I guess I'll go into hibernation for a week and re-emerge after Mother's Day. Anything out there not to be missed?

Good opportunity to check out some of the ethnic and other "downscale" places!

Sounds like a plan! I'll call ahead.

Last year, 90+ percent of these places seemed to be 85% dead during the 2 weeks leading up to Derby Day, even many that usually get a pretty steady flow of business at other times.

The "Chow Wagon" Effect?
